Chapter 52: Huang Yao's Great General

  The Roc was indeed swift, and in just a few dozen minutes, it had flown over countless mountains, rivers, and lakes. Before my eyes appeared a beautiful mountain peak, with green pines and bamboo, fragrant grasses, and the sound of springs bubbling up, a true paradise on earth.

  "We're almost at the magnetic destination, Wen Ge still likes to live in such a quiet place. When we enter this mountain, don't make too much noise, or the captain will get angry, especially Captain's wife, she loves all life on earth, but whatever you do, don't mistreat small animals or pick flowers; okay, let's go." Before arriving at the captain's house, Coach Ma Linhai first introduced us to his habits, fearing that we might accidentally offend him. Hearing this, it's clear that Captain and Coach Ma have a deep private relationship, and Coach Ma has great respect for him, so everyone nodded in agreement with Coach Ma's words.

  We hiked up the mountain and it took about thirty minutes to get to the captain's house. Originally, with our physical strength, we wouldn't have taken that long, but in order to show respect for the host, we all chose a low-key way of walking.

  In the distance, a two-story small building appeared vaguely, revealing its simple decoration. The whole picture was full of harmony, without any discord. Finally arrived at the front of the small garden, which was surrounded by a fence, with many rare flowers and grasses planted inside, as well as some adorable little animals roaming around, such as white rabbits, wild chickens, kangaroos, etc. Rose sisters almost exclaimed in surprise, it seems that whether women or girls all like these cute little animals.

  Coach Ma shouted outside, "Wen Ge, I'm here!" The shout was just right, neither too loud nor too soft. What's even more amazing is that the small animals in the garden didn't seem to be affected at all, perhaps they were already used to Coach Ma's shouting, Xiangzi guessed.

  "Little horse, is that really you? Haha, I didn't expect you to be the first one to come and hand in your task, well done!" A heroic and majestic voice rang out, and with a guess, it was clear who this person was. At this time, a robust and strong young man walked out of the house, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a majestic aura - Huang Yaowen, indeed living up to his reputation as a great general.

  His appearance gave me a kind of intimacy, different from the feeling of meeting Xiaomei, but a kind of blood intimacy. Wait, he has the same surname as my mom, Huang... could it be... I didn't dare to think further, about Dad and Mom, they wouldn't reveal anything, and what I knew was very limited, so I'd better not think too much.

  On the other hand, Coach Ma was not annoyed by Huang Yaowen's terms of endearment "Little Horse" and "Young Man", but instead was pleased with the praise "Well done".

  However, the next scene was stunning: "Huang Yaowen, what are you yelling about? Do you think you're great and superior to others? Look at my little treasures, they're all scared of you. If you don't behave, I'll have to ask you to leave." A woman's voice came from inside the house, followed by a slender woman in white clothes, who was very polite to outsiders. She glanced at us with a smile and said: "Younger brothers and sisters, please come in and sit down, don't stand outside."

  We were momentarily stunned, the beautiful young woman looked at us, then at General Huang who was equally stunned, and suddenly became angry, shouting at her husband: "I'm telling you, you're a blockhead! The guests have arrived, can't you see that? Why are you still standing there like a fool? Can't you go open the door quickly? Do you want me to be the one to open the door?"

  Our Captain Huang was also stifling his laughter, casting a cautious glance at his wife's belly, and chose not to make a scene. To others, this detail seemed like a classic case of a hen-pecked husband, where the wife would scold him loudly and he would only dare to sneak glances at others, afraid to look directly at his wife. Of course, we were also included in this, our hearts bursting with laughter, each person trembling (stifling giggles), until we followed Huang Yaowen into the house and things took a turn for the better; throughout this process, General Huang kept his head down and walked silently, not uttering a word. For a big man like him, this was simply too humiliating.

  "You chat, I'll go cook, and you can eat here later." Mrs. Huang suddenly became very virtuous, which was originally a matter of giving her husband face; but as soon as Huang Yao heard that she wanted to cook personally and invite others to eat together, his face didn't look too good, because only he knew that the dishes his wife made were unforgettable after eating once, not because they were delicious, but because they were too difficult to eat. He hastily spoke out to stop her: "Madam, no need."

  "Why don't you eat it? Are you tired of my cooking being bad, someone once said that the meal I made was unforgettable after eating it, are they deceiving me?" Madame Huang's face was playful, but in fact she knew very well that her cooking wasn't good, however since when did she start enjoying watching him make a sour face. As for this point, even she herself found it strange, yet couldn't help but tease her husband.

  "Uh, uh, oh, it's like this, I'm thrilled to hear that you're pregnant, ma'am. So I decided to invite a few brothers to get together and go out for dinner; you see, you're going to be a mom soon, so take care of your body first, don't worry about anything else." General Huang showed an awkward pause, then suddenly came up with a great way to resolve the current awkwardness.

  "Ah, I see! Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Brother Wen and his wife! How long has it been?" Captain Ma exclaimed with joy, rushing to offer his felicitations. In his heart, he secretly felt ashamed, having just misunderstood Brother Wen, who wasn't afraid of his wife, but rather was lovingly concerned about her pregnancy - this is what a real man is like!

  "Uh, your sister-in-law is pregnant, and it's already been two weeks, she just told me today, haha." General Huang became extremely gentle, while Madame Huang leaned against him, her face filled with satisfaction, a happy smile on her small face.

  And my brother and I, as well as Little Mei, sincerely congratulated them at the same time, only then did we realize that this was how it was. As everyone knows, after a woman becomes pregnant, she will have a period of irritability, and the people closest to her should be psychologically prepared to tolerate things that they normally cannot tolerate.

  "Sister, let's cook together, we can learn from each other. Anyway, there's nothing for me to do here, and no matter how good the food outside is, it's not as warm as home, right?" Tian Mei said with a understanding tone.

  "Alright, alright, I think so too. This sister is quite an expert, her words have reached my heart." Madam Huang's attitude became more enthusiastic, and this time no one stopped her. Everyone's gaze towards Tian Mei Gui became more affectionate, thinking that she was a good girl.

  "They went to cook, so we started discussing the matter." Captain Huang Yaowen said. Then Officer Ma told the captain about our group's situation with the military training uniform task today, and the captain looked at Xiaomei and me with a meaningful glance, saying lightly: "Not bad, neither of you is bad!"

  At this, I and Little Mei just smiled it off, because after a conversation, we knew that the captain was of this personality. At this time, the dishes were also ready, a full table of dishes, a large pot of white rice, everyone ate very fragrantly, and praised Mrs. Huang and Rose, the two women.

  At the dinner table, everyone was eager to serve dishes to Madame Huang, meaning that pregnant women should eat more and better, especially Rose was the most diligent; it is said that the two women had just cooked a meal together, but everyone clearly felt that their relationship had become much closer. After dinner, they bid farewell to Captain Huang and his wife.
